Treasurer’s Report: John Martin, Treasurer, did not attend the meeting. Cathleen reported there is no money coming in at this time and it is creating some temporary issues.

Cathleen asked if there was interest in doing a holiday gift exchange at the December meeting. A suggestion was made that small original paintings be created that could be inserted into holiday cards. Paintings could be shown to the group during the meeting and the recipient chosen by random drawing. The card and painting would be sent to the recipient after the meeting.
A second suggestion was made to create the same small original paintings but donate them to local nursing homes and shut-ins may

be willing to accept outside gifts. This could be difficult due to COVID restrictions. Nancy Nuttleman volunteered to call several facilities to see who would accept paintings from the outside. School teachers could also be recipients for the paintings.
A third suggestion was made to cancel the meeting and gift exchange for this year. Cathleen will send out an email to members to gauge interest.
NOTE: Based on responses, there will be NO DECEMBER MEETING.
Programs: The remainder of the meeting was reserved for the members to show their current projects whether they are finished or in progress.
